Effects of ultrasound on the degradation kinetics, physicochemical properties and prebiotic activity of Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide

Jinrong Xiao, Xin Chen, Qiping Zhan, Lei Zhong, Qiuhui Hu, Liyan Zhao

Summary: This study investigated the ultrasonic degradation process, physicochemical properties, and prebiotic activity of ultrasonic degraded Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides (U-FVPs). The results showed that increasing ultrasonic intensity led to faster degradation, and reducing polysaccharide concentration contributed to degradation. Ultrasound changed the solution conformation and stability of the polysaccharide, resulting in decreased viscosity and gel strength but improved thermal stability. U-FVPs exhibited better prebiotic activity compared to the original polysaccharides.

Fast identification of the pull-in voltage of a nano/micro-electromechanical system

Ji-Huan He, Na Qie, Chun-Hui He, Khaled Gepreel

Summary: The pull-in voltage is crucial in designing an optimal nano/micro-electromechanical system (N/MEMS). It is vital to have a simple formulation to calculate the pull-in voltage with relatively high accuracy. Two simple and effective methods are suggested for this purpose; one is an ancient Chinese algorithm and the other is an extension of He's frequency formulation.

A numerical approach for solving fractional optimal control problems with mittag-leffler kernel

Hossein Jafari, Roghayeh M. Ganji, Khosro Sayevand, Dumitru Baleanu

Summary: In this work, a numerical approach based on shifted Legendre polynomials is proposed for solving fractional optimal control problems, utilizing the Atangana-Baleanu derivative for the derivative operation. The method combines operational matrices of AB-fractional integration and multiplication with the Lagrange multiplier method to simplify the problem into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations, resulting in an approximate solution with proven error estimate. Illustrative examples are used to demonstrate the accuracy and validity of the proposed scheme.

New insights into the ultrasound impact on covalent reactions of myofibrillar protein

Jiahui Chen, Xing Chen, Guanghong Zhou, Xinglian Xu

Summary: In this study, two different covalent reactions were compared to evaluate the strengthening effects of ultrasound treatment (UDT). The results showed that UDT destroyed the non-covalent interactions between myofibrillar protein (MPN) aggregates, and UDT-assisted free radical oxidation produced conjugates with better structural properties. After alkaline reaction, MPNs appeared as irregular spherical particles, while maintaining fibrous structure during free radical oxidation.
